Strict Inequality(!==) Comparison Operator in JavaScript

JavaScript Strict Inequality Operator is used to compare two operators and return true if they both are unequal. It is the opposite of the Strict Equality operator but like the Strict Equality Operator, it also does not perform type conversion.

Syntax:



a!==b

Example 1: In this example, we will use the inequality operator on the same data types.




let a = 2; b=2, c=3;
let d = {name:"Ram"};
let e = {name:"Ram"};
let f = e;
  
console.log(a!==b);
console.log(a!==c);
console.log(d!==e);
console.log(f!==e);

Output: Since the objects, d, and e contain the same value but have different references so true is returned but objects f and e have the same reference so false is returned.



false
true
true
false

Example 2: In this example, we will use the strict inequality operator on different data types.




let a = 2;
let b="2";
let c = true;
let d = null;
let e = undefined;
  
console.log(a!==b);
console.log(a!==c);
console.log(d!==e);

Output:

true
true
true
